I lost my father when I was 27 years old. He died in late December 2012 and I've suffered from panic attacks, depression and anxiety since late 2013, when I couldn't shut out all the emotions and all the feelings anymore. It was like being hit by a brick in the head. It came from "nowhere" and in an instant. I've been talking to terapists and tried a bunch of different medications and I've done literally everything one can think of... Without any major results.
However, I never had any real meaningful support from someone and I had to act tough and strong for the sake of my mother. Well, I didn't have to do that, but I wanted to. It felt necessary. Due to all of that, and now, years later when I've finally been able to handle things a little bit better, I want to be the support I never had. Hopefully, I'll be able to help someone to live their life to the fullest, even though they suffer from mental illness. At least I want to try and help them. That's my long term goal. And that's the true reason for me to longing for this education!
Some of your expressions in this article are about the struggle you go through and the struggle to support yourself financially.
I see. Well, the fact that I struggle financially, is more about me than anything else. And I would never rely or count on Steemit or Steemians to help me out when I needed to. I manage just fine most of the days, but if I'll start to study, I'll need student loans. Otherwise I won't afford to study. And to get the student loan, I need to pay back my previous loan first. And that is what I'm trying to do right now. However, Steemit helps me a long way on the process, so hopefully I'll be able to do it.
But first thing first. I need to be accepted. Once I am, I'll start to focus on the other part. :)
Well, I know more about you by now and I would like to extend my support on any activity you need some help in any way I could be of help.
I think you are already accepted by many and as we spend more time on others posts, there will be better exposure for ourselves. I think it's a matter of time.
I wish the best in whatever you want to do my friend.
Likewise @coolguy123. It's pretty cool to see how one can share and get to know each other, just by making replies with a few words here and there. Social media is pretty awesome that way actually. :)
Yes, totally agree with you. I was once a vivid follower of facebook, but now, I don't even open that as I am pretty busy on this platform and I feel happy that I can do the same activity here.
I hear you. I haven't been on facebook for more than 2 years now. I had stopped being on Facebook long before I found Steemit, but once I found Steemit, I deactivated my facebook account immediately.
That's nice..again the same thign with me, I haven't logged on to Steemit for almost 1 and half years, thought I haven't deactivated...
